Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent initial rating for migraine headaches but denied non-compensable ratings for chronic ethmoid sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, while remanding several service connection claims.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the frequency of prostrating attacks for the migraine headaches, which approximated characteristic prostrating attacks occurring once a month. For the other conditions, there was insufficient evidence to support a compensable rating or service connection.
